I agree this is probably Fenton
This was sitting on a narrow window ledge .I was afraid to pick it up since it was barely on the ledge and looked like a good sneeze would knock it off.It was marked $10 got it for $8
Oh Thanks again Mrj303 !!
i dont think that this is fenton. other companies made glass like this with the ribbed opalescent pattern...it is most likely made by one of those companies. i could be wrong...but im pretty sure im right. thanks for sharing!
Look through the books I didn't see this one's top design. But all that matters is if you like it! :)
Thanks all for the help and thanks scandinavian_pieces for the love !!
Pretty!
Thanks wolcott !!!! Saved this one from the ledge.
Hedge, I'm wonderin' if it may be Jefferson; certainly bear noticeable likeness; look at the similarities at this link:

Very similar to the second one. Thanks TallCakes !!
Thanks BELLIN !!
I saw this same pattern tonite on ebay when I was trying to figure out what my plate was called! They said it was "rare" --that's all I remember. Thanks for loving my plate too :)
Okay, I found it again. I think if you type this in on eBay, you should be able to look at what I was talking about and compare it to yours: " L4 Rare Fenton 1920s Green Uranium Opalescent NU 220 Royal Blue Lemonade Set". If it is the same, scroll down -- they had a lot of great information about the Fenton Company. Hope this helps.
Looks very much like Indiana Glass. The rib is stereotypically like many of their designs. I do not think Fenton. I have a huge book on Indiana glass. When I run across it I will identify it for you. The pictures in the book are extensive and I have several pieces. Not the exact shape but so similar makes me suspect.
Thanks retro !!
Wow, something I said?
Wow I'm so sorry nt !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for the love and info!!!!!Sometimes I get caught up in the moment.Thank you also kerry !!
That's okay. I guess I was feeling extra sensitive that day. :(
Thanks All !!
Nice vase, I have the same one and have been looking into it as well.
Like MRJ, I have not seen anything similar in any fenton books. I looked at the Jefferson link and will look into it more. Too bad their pictures aren't bigger.
This looks very similar
